There will be more later...
Kroon -> don't think it's been confirmed
Leipheimer -> there are reports that "guarantee" he's going to Astana. nothing confirmed so far.
Ten Dam -> Rabobank. confirmed
Paulinho->he's got a contract but has been asked not to reveal which team it is just yet.
Brajkovic -> same as Paulinho.
Martinez->in talks with Euskaltel. nothing signed as of yet
the others->I haven't seen any confirmed so far

Kroon has been offered lots and lots of money to stay with CSC, so I think he does. In September, it was reported by a Dutch website that he was going to extend his contract.
Leipheimer will follow Contador and Bruyneel to Astana
Laurens Ten Dam is still undecided, I think, but he has offers from Rabobank, CSC and Quickstep
Paulinho will probably go to some small Portuguese continental team, but I heard that he might also go to Astana.
Brajkovic, well, Liquigas is still my best shot.
Egoi Martinez will return to Euskaltel.

Too late, it seems 
(And Martinéz has signed with Euskaltel. I think it was reported on their website)

I thought rabobank had confirmed it. I'll look for a source
EDIT: couldn't find it, so nevermind

as I said, he's got a contract. with a ProTour team. A few weeks before, he'd said Lampre were extremely interested in him.
we'll probably know most people's teams just after the Giro di Lombardia

I was pretty sure some team had confirmed they had signed with Laurens Ten Dam, too, but I just couldn't figure out what I read it. Instead, I just mentioned what I knew for sure. |

well, I couldn't find the source, but I'm also pretty sure I read it, as you. I agree with you, those three were the ones reported as bidding for him.
as for Paulinho, I'd say Lampre or Astana. Lampre were very interested, and with Bruyneel at Astana, Bruyneel had assigned him leader of Discovery for the April classics, so obviously he'll jump at the opportunity of signing him.
we'll know for sure in a short while

Zabel could not get rid of his Milram-contract and will therefore stay with Milram. T-Mobile will look for more youngsters instead (f.e. Eros Capecchi)
And now it's the other way around again. Zabel has now confirmed that he'll be leaving Milram after this season, but he didn't mention to which team. T-Mobile is the only possible team, I think  |

Agreed. Another great catch for T-Mobile if you ask me. Stapleton was certainly searching for a mentor for his sprinting starlets. He's certainly found that.

Voigt won't be going anywhere. That I can promise you
Anyway: Bjarne Riis has said in an interview today that he's expecting to fill up the team (= 30 riders). Currently, they only have 18 riders for the next season, but it's expected that CSC will extend the contracts of Julich, Kroon and Ljungqvist. Roberts and M. Pedersen will not have their contracts extended, and there's still a few undecided ones: A. Johansen, Cuesta and Gustov.
Riis confirmed in the interview that it's very likely that McGee and van Goolen will be riding for CSC next year. It's not official yet, though, he said. He didn't mention any other riders, though. |

Laurent Brochard wants to continue in cycling despite not having his contract renewed by Bouygues
(If you can't get a contract with Bouygues, who can you get a contract with?!) |

More than time for this old pills eater to retire. |

Also Riis said that CSC isnt looking for superstars, because he likes the ones he has. They are looking for talents and helpers.
